Since then all Montero has done is hit. He is currently 19 playing high A and hitting the cover off the ball(.967 OPS!). This is pretty impressive considering his young age and his position. The question now is Montero becoming one of the top prospects in baseball? His defense is the
sticking point and the only real difference between him and say uber prospect Matt Weiters but even if he is a bad fielding first baseman his numbers might warrant a little more attention then what he is getting. I know, hard to believe in New York that a prospect is being under hyped but check out his numbers against the first baseman ranked higher then him on the BA top 100 list;
At a younger age he is having more success then those ranked higher on the list from Baseball America. There is also talk of him being promoted in the near future which will allow us to do a little more of a direct comparison against those in AA.
If the call-up comes and he continues to hit Jesus should start to warrant Joba circa 2007 like attention.
